Security guard discovers stolen Haydel's truck, to land free king cake for a year privateofficer.com

New
Orleans LA Jan 22 2017 A St. Charles Parish security
guard came across a truck with a sweet offering Friday morning.

Haydel's Bakery had put a call out for its stolen
truck, offering one free king cake a week for a year to whoever helped find it.
The truck was located in St. Charles Parish about 2 a.m., where it had been
abandoned.

The truck had been stolen at 2:45 a.m. Thursday
morning. Images showed a man in a black hoodie approaching the truck before it
was driven away.

"What a difference 24 hours makes!," wrote
Haydel's on Facebook, adding that everything was found intact, and nothing had
been stolen.

Posts sent out on Thursday asking for help finding
the truck were shared over 1,500 times. The person who stole the truck has
still not been identified.

Haydel's said it would be offering $2 off king cake
purchases on Sunday (Jan. 22) as a way to show "appreciation for all of
the support."
